Trikaya Doktrine . Doctrine of the three bodies (better, levels of manifestation) of the Buddha, developed within Mahayana Buddhism.
The three kaya are

(2) Sambhogakaya (Skt., = Tib. longchöku), the level of visionary manifestation of Buddhahood, as with the yidam or Tantric deities such as Avalokiteshvara, Amitabha or Tara;
(3) Nirmanakaya (Skt., = Tib. tulku), the physical form or emanation of Buddhahood, such as the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni.
See also TULKU.
